Saying goodbye to you family is never easy. However, our experience with Dr. Stephanie was as seamless and compassionate as we could have hoped for. She is very knowledgeable and kind, took everything at our pace and explained the steps before and during the procedure. She took measures to ensure that our kitty, Cassie was as comfortable and calm as possible. After the injection to make her sleepy we got to give her her favorite treat. She fell asleep with her tongue out, completely at peace. Dr. Stephanie came over after a few minutes and verified that she was gone and reassured us that we'd done the right thing in ending her suffering. We even had the option to keep Cassie for a few hours after she passed to say our last goodbyes before dropping her off at the aquamation center. All day we kept saying how we couldn't believe how relieved we felt and how a lot of our anxiety had been that it would not be peaceful, like the time we'd lost our other cat. We had so much closure around Cassie's passing right after it happened and I think a lot of that was due to the fact that Journey Home did such an incredible job at making Cassie's last day so normal that she didn't know what was happening. A few weeks later Cindy dropped off a beautiful package of memory keepsakes and her ashes. We will treasure them forever. The services are a bit more expensive than going in to the vets office, but was cheaper than other in-home euthanasia options we looked into. If you have the funds to invest in this, it's definitely worth it. We felt at peace with our decision and felt supported by the whole team before, during and after. If we ever have to make this decision again, we will choose Journey Home. read more

What an amazing doctor and staff. I had to put my 18-year-old cat to sleep and Dr. Stephanie came to my house and was so kind and loving. She explained exactly what was going to happen and gave me space to hold my girl and cry. About a week later, Cindy dropped of the ashes and everything was so beautifully put together and I was happy to receive the plaster casting of my girl's paw print...that was very touching. It meant so much to do this hard, heart-breaking thing in the peaceful setting of my own home. I would recommend Journey Home to anyone seeking this kind of at home euthanasia. Thank you, Dr. Stephanie!! read more

Dr Stephanie was absolutely wonderful. We had to put our sweet, sweet basset hound down and she was so patient and kind. She explained the entire procedure in clear terms and we knew exactly what to expect. We were able to love him and hold him right to the end. It was peaceful and beautiful to have him in the home he has known for 15 years. She lovingly wrapped him in a rainbow bridge blanket when he was gone. Dr Stephanie gave us a precious gift and we are eternally grateful read more

Journey Home Veterinary Services - Veterinarians Near Me

I highly recommend Journey Home Veterinary Services simply based on a phone call. Unfortunately I am out of their service area (we live South Denver) but the person I spoke with (Anna) was so sweet and caring and recommended several other providers that were in my area. read more

We found out our sweet kitty was fatally ill, so we contacted a few euthanasia services around Denver. We got the best vibes from Dr. Stephanie and are so glad we went with her! She came to our home--during a pandemic!--and was so compassionate and wonderful throughout the tragic process. Her kindness and professionalism shine. Our kitty baby was able to pass peacefully in her own home, on her favorite blankets, and comforted by her people. After the fact, Dr. Stephanie dropped off our kitty's ashes in a beautifully-wrapped rose-wood box with our kitty's name on it. She also dropped off our kitty's paw print and a shipping of her hair--momentos we'll cherish forever. I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Stephanie, who was incredible during one of the most difficult experiences of our lives. read more

Our amazing 80 lb dog, Rose lost a quick and very unexpected battle with cancer. Stephanie did a wonderful job of helping us celebrate Rose and made the impossible experience of saying good bye beautiful and loving. She treated Rose and our family members with kindness and respect. I highly recommend Stephanie and Journey Home read more

We could not have wished for a better experience saying goodbye to our best friend of 4 years. Dr. Stephanie was so incredibly kind and compassionate, and my partner and I felt safe and assured that what needed to be done was done in the most loving, personal, and empathetic way possible. We are so grateful. read more

Dr. Stephanie is the absolute best. She is making my elderly cats life much easier for him. She is sweet and so helpful.

I highly recommend Dr. Stephanie and her staff with the love and care for the last stages in your furry, loved one's life. Dr. Stephanie helped us twice with the most difficult task one could go through. Once during COVID and one just a few months ago for our 18.5 year old. Her staff is quick to reach back to you and make the process as easy as possible. Dr. Stephanie is so patient and caring. She explained the process in such a gracious manner and gave us comfort and as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes. read more

Had to see my cat Fynn off yesterday. Dr. Stephanie was very kind and helpful. Much nicer to see him off at home. Thank you!

I cannot thank Dr. Stephanie and her staff at Journey Home enough for their kindness, compassion, and delicate handling of our fur baby of 13 years. Molly was simply the best companion we could ever ask for in a 60 lb. Goldendoodle frame. She was a rescue who frankly rescued us right back. She suffered a burst tumor on her spleen and declined so rapidly, we were unprepared. I made a desperate call to Journey Home and we were not disappointed. They made the whole experience bearable. I certainly don't wish this process on anyone, but if you find yourself in this position, please call Dr. Stephanie at Journey Home. You will not be disappointed. read more

Dr. Stephanie was amazing. On the day that my beloved kitty, Xena, let me know it was time -- sooner than I thought/tried to plan for -- the vet I had planned to use was unavailable. Dr. Stephanie was recommended and she came out within a couple of hours and was exactly the right person. Her easygoing and kind demeanor, her compassion and her veterinary knowledge made a heart-wrenching experience more bearable, demonstrating such care for my baby--and for me. read more

Fantastic customer service. Quick to call back and accommodate. So thankful there are people out there that offer this service and help heal our hearts. Thank you. read more

I was so blessed to meet Dr Stephanie. She helped manage my dog's health through palliative care but so kindly came to our home when it was time to say goodbye to our old lady. Stephanie is truly an amazing person. I just can't say enough about how much I appreciate her and her expertise in this space. read more

We called Dr. Stephanie during the COVID pandemic in July 2020 to come to our home and help us say goodbye to my 13 year-old border collie/heeler beautiful girl. Dr. Stephanie did a perfect job. She provides information, gives family time and space to be sad, cry, ask questions. She is thoughtful and clearly loved our dog and I suspect all animals as we loved Fleet through her life. I can imagine how the wrong person could make this sad time so difficult. Dr. Stephanie made it so we could say goodbye and feel good about how we said goodbye after the intense pain of the day/week eases a bit. Thank you Dr. Stephanie! We will be calling you in the future for other pets. read more

Dr. Stephanie did a wonderful job. She explained the whole process and gave us time alone with Monkey to say goodbye. She let me hold Monkey during the procedure and afterward took her out in a basket, wrapped in a blanket, so it looked like she was sleeping. A week later, I got the ashes back in a lovely wooden box with Monkey's name on it along with a cast of her paw print. I can't recommend Dr. Stephanie enough. read more

Dr. Stephanie is incredibly compassionate and was a blessing for our family during the last days of our pup. Communication before, during and after was always easy and never felt rushed. Her thoughtful card we got in the mail, with her recall of some of the things we shared about our dog, was truly touching. We would give Dr. Stephanie the highest recommendation without reservation - she is exactly the type of veterinarian we needed. Being able to say goodbye at home made it so much easier and she was accommodating with her schedule too. We are so grateful to have benefited from her counsel and services. read more
